Reflux question

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

It was great to meet so many people at the convention who have so

much in common! I learned so much and can't wait till next year!

Mainly that Dalia does not have RSS, but SGA and overfed (never

thought that could be possible, but go figure)..and I know that the

treatment is the same..I also realized that her reflux is much more

severe than I ever imagined.

My question is this: How do you handle the problem of keeping the

child elevated for 30-45 minutes after eating when you feed them in

the middle of the night. I mean at 2:30am the last thing I want to

do is hold her at a 45 degree angle until 3:30am. Also, she rolls

around her crib a lot, so propping up one side of the crib won't

help.

I have been just holding her upright for around 10 minutes, burp her

and then lay her back down. She always seems ok, but now I wonder

if I'm harming her even more.

(I tell ya, I can find something to worry about at any moment

time...I'm great at it

BTW, I posted some pictures in the Dalia folder.
